  • Patent number: 8000812
    Abstract: An electrostimulation device comprises at least one shell (2) forming an inner compartment (21) and comprising an opening (22); at least one electrode (3) located at least partly outside the corresponding shell (2) at the opening (22). The device is characterised by the fact that the electrode (3) is connected to an articulated joint (4). The articulated joint (4) is at least partly inside the shell (2) and mobile in its seat (41). The electrode (3) can be angled and moved relative to the shell (2) as a result of the freedom of movement of the articulated joint (4) in its seat (41) depending on the anatomical form and structure of the treatment zone (8).

  • Patent number: 5443494
    Abstract: In the invention, at least one electrode is placed in contact with a user's skin such that it transmits electric impulses produced by a current generator to the skin. The support comprises a projecting support element, supporting two electrodes rotatably connected to the belt device such as to rotate with respect to the belt device, so that the electrodes can be positioned longitudinally or transversally to the device, correspondingly to the development direction of a muscle to be stimulated.
